"Three... 3000 taels of silver?" The village chief's head was full of questions. He had lived for almost 40 years and had never seen any silver!

A villager asked nonchalantly: "What does silver look like?"

There was silence in the tent for a moment.

The expressions on the faces of several maids even went blank.

Chu Yin lowered her eyes slightly. She had stayed in the Northland and had seen poor people, so she was not as shocked as the maids, but she still felt extremely heavy.

After a moment of silence, she ordered: "Send someone to get copper coins, one tael of broken silver, and 50 taels of silver ingots..."

Qinghao said hurriedly: "I will go in person, I understand what you mean."

Chu Yin nodded slightly.

Qing Hao returned not long after leaving, followed by two soldiers, who put down the things in the basket and left immediately.

Angelica dahurica Lonicera came forward to help.

First, they took out the copper coins that the villagers were most familiar with, but these coins were relatively new. The villagers' own money was all covered with dirt, and some were even damaged.

Copper coins were piled in a pile.

Qinghao said: "This pile is a thousand coins. According to the silver exchange rate of Da Zhou, a thousand coins can be exchanged for one tael of silver, but in fact, a thousand coins on the market can not be exchanged for one tael of silver.

"This is one tael of silver." She placed a small silver dime next to the pile of copper coins. "This is one hundred taels of silver, one thousand taels of silver..."

The villagers gathered together and murmured in a low voice: "3000 taels of silver, just three piles like this... If they were all exchanged for copper coins... I'd love you! How much would that be! We... our whole life..."

"Let alone a lifetime, you won't be able to earn it even in a few lifetimes!"

When the village chief spoke again, he was crying: "Noble... Noble! You are going to kill us!"

"Why do I want your lives?" Chu Yin's voice was still calm, "Have you forgotten what I said before?"

Qinghao said impatiently: "As long as you do things according to our wife's instructions, let alone paying 3000 taels of silver, you will still be able to enjoy the benefits of water wells and water cellars for generations!"

Several people discussed in low voices: "It seems that planting trees is not a big deal, right?"

"That's easy to say! It's not easy to plant trees in this poor place like ours!"

"I'm so scared! Isn't it just a lack of water? Who doesn't urinate a few times a day? If there is no water, they use urine to pour it. How many people in the family can't save half a basin of urine in a day?"

Listening to their talk becoming more and more mean, Qinghao couldn't help coughing twice as a reminder.

But these people got into it, and not only did their words become more and more vulgar, but they also became louder and louder.

Several maids had embarrassed blushes on their faces.

Chu Yin shook his head slightly. In the future, he had more contact with these out-and-out farmers, and he had to hear all kinds of swear words!
After a long while, the village chief spoke on behalf of the village: "Your Excellency, are you really admitting this matter to all our officials?"

Qinghao snorted, "Who do you think our wife is?" She wanted to explain Chu Yin's identity in detail, but then she thought, even if she explained, these people might not understand, so she simply said, "You guys The county magistrate, let alone see our wife, has to kneel down and kowtow even if he sees me!
"And I am just an inconspicuous servant girl in front of our wife. Do you think someone like our wife is joking with you?"

"That can't be done, that can't be done!" The village chief gritted his teeth, "That's OK! I'll take my fingerprints first!"

Zi Wan approached with a tray. On the tray were three copies of the deed, as well as ink pads. She kindly explained: "Of these three deeds, our wife will keep one, the local government will keep one, and you will keep one for yourself. "
